There is a lending library near by, and you can find a Camino De Santiago stamp hidden in a niche. You also have two or three fountains to get fresh water.

A road with views of the Jura, Geneva, Mont Blanc, and Salève, right in the heart of the Pays de Gex. I even happened to spot deer at the edge of the woods.

Cars are not allowed along this road so it feels safer. You may find small stones, tractors, and dog walkers, so slow down and pass them safely.

"Rich man's shop" type of bike shop. Rude and unfriendly owner. Avoid unless you have at least 5K to spend, otherwise you will be treated literally like starving people.

Path through the Bonmont Golf Course at the foot of the castle. The 62-hectare park is an oasis of peace and greenery. You can admire the view of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc on a clear day.
